She’s known for her multiple personalities. Give her a dose of her own medicine.
Busy Bee
Since she’s always on the run, mention code DailyCandy and score her a complimentary room upgrade and breakfast at Austin’s hip Hotel Saint Cecilia Sunday through Wednesday until January 28. Make sure she’s traveling in style with a leather tote (we love the Manhattan in gunmetal) by SMU alum Mary Nichols.
Captain Cook
Sugar fiends will appreciate Tart Bakery’s just-debuted chocolate peppermint and chocolate hazelnut whoopie pies and Citizen Sweet’s new all-natural gingerbread men. For more spice, wrap up the new Mexican martini mix from famous A-Town resto Cedar Door. If she makes meals from scratch, this hefty Recipe Nest is a must. Don’t forget a yummy apron.
Handy Mandy
The Gypsy Wagon carries cute tools just for the ladies, including a floral hammer and screw set. A mini amaryllis from Write Selection will keep green thumbs busy until gardening season. Wannabe craftsters can lust after embroidered bamboo brooches, as well as Catherine Miller Accents’s hand-blown glass lamps and sculptures.
Miss Priss
Foot the bill for a peppermint chocolate pedi (served with hot cocoa and a candy cane) at V Spa Dallas. Or dish out a luxe dessert (cream puff pyramids shaped like Christmas trees, artisan French macaroons) homemade by the Hotel St. Germain. For a sweet touch, toss in Gaia’s cloth napkins (available at Haven), handmade from vintage textiles by Burmese refugees living in Dallas.
That should cover it.
